The term "beginner" isnt quite truthful, as i have yet to receive my ordered "beginner kit". I'm trying to read as much as i can but have one question that should be easy for anyone thats done it.
When primary fermentation is complete, will there still be a head on the brew? what im getting at is this.... when i go to transfer the brew to the secondary fermenter, the yeast/sediment falls to the bottom of the bucket, so i should siphon from, what, an inch from the bottom? 2 inches? and the question about crud on top, just wondering if i have to avoid siphoning from both top and bottom. I'd rather have less sediment and a little wasted brew to be honest.
